The previous poster is right, you don't have a clue. American and 
Canadian auto workers priced themselves out of work. The auto workers 
make the equivelant of $71.00/hr. That is their hourly salary plus all 
benefits. Even when they are laid off they make $31.00 plus full 
benefits.

Please don't expect me to cry for the auot workers,they did this to 
themselves...oh and these are the auto workers without higher education.
